Cap Shield Doesn't Buff Captain Carter?

[The (Silent) Rat King]

For literally what reason?

[groovador]

for the reason that her name is not captain america.

Seems silly considering she is throwing a practically identical shield and is a practically identical character, and a version of cap from a different universe. Seems like an oversight, especially considering the possible synergy.

The card just doesn't say "Captain America," that's it. Doesn't need to be more complicated.

Also, total biased aside, I don't want to see Cap's Shield get any more synergy, anyway; it's already slapped in every deck right now to Kingdome Come, beating out every single tech card in the game except Shang-Chi. As usual, SD's letting it play out for a while before they touch it, but I'm waiting for their funny little tweaks to hit it so I stop seeing it 60% of games.

Yeah, I was disappointed when it didn't work with U.S. Agent, either.

Yeah it sounds fun if Carter and US Agent had the ability to gain power with the shield but I wonder how powerful that would be. Probably too strong of an imbalance given how US Agent gives a huge debuff and Carter scales power in her lane.

Hmm....after some thought it sounds cool but obviously overpowered.

Why would that work? Cap Sam literally hates and bullies U.S. Agent.

I think that was sarcasm by Duggo.

Let me be clear and reiterate that the shield says "cap" not "captain america" in he actual text of the card so I feel like it's a mistake you can make for a card like Captain Carter.

You could argue 'cap' is meant as Captain America, as it clearly has a silhouette of Sam Wilson in the background. She's a Variant of Captain America but she's British, an M16 agent, hence the British get up. So that could be it too.

Most likely it doesn't work with her for balancing reasons. It'd kinda be busted having her be a scaler AND buffing the cards behind her proportionate to her power. Granted you'd only be able to scale her once, maybe twice if you wanna buff your shield I guess. Maybe three times if you ramp her out with energy cheats?

Could also just be entirely intentional. Either which way for the reasoning, it's fine I think.

it would be cool if it went to us agent and gave the other side a - whatever amount

It should work with US Agent, but not captain carter
